(Sayles '84)
So are we sharing full length movies on youtube then? This isn't a perfect film, but definitely more sincere and interesting than the title suggests. A slice of early 80s working class New York and a lead who doesn't talk. Some great scenes and music. Good late at night with a smoke. Enjoy your weekend

it's a brilliant film it's a canadian board film innit? i remember those and some others being on channel 4 in about 1990 - such a treat
i paid about £70 for the VHS back then because I had to see it again, it was worth it coz it wasnt shown again in UK or available for years
i reckon it is a perfect film,if one tried to improve it in ways that are currently fashionable you'd lose the essence
the main character went on to really let himself down, especially in terminator 2 huh
reminds me of "after hours" scorcese's first i think, that's a cracking 80's film too, along with weekend at bernie's of course but now i have slipped right off topic, apologies

i've yet to see a remake that's any good anyway, total recall one looks piss poor. love the original, though.

i do like the concept though, but it's so insanely cheesily done... but it sort of becomes good because of it. hard to describe.

wow, log out for six months and miss a reply by ten minutes... Anyway, it's nice to find you a fan of this film! The last 15 or 20 minutes feels like a different movie to me, but the rest is brilliant :)
Night of the Hunter's a classic, good you tipped that one staz.
